UPI has become a popular choice for payment among many people as a result of the government's drive for digital payments.

The RBI has mandated that there be no fees associated with using a RuPay credit card through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for transactions under Rs 2,000. All major banks have enabled RuPay's credit card, which has been in operation for four years, and are producing new cards for both the commercial and retail markets.

The NPCI circular stated that the device binding and UPI PIN setup procedures during credit card onboarding on the applications must include and be understood as customer authorization for credit card enabling for all sorts of transactions.

The primary method of payment at stores for small transactions is currently UPI. The use of debit and credit cards for transactions will significantly decline as a result of the government's drive for digital payments. Because fewer transactions are being made using credit cards, large firms like Master Card and Visa Card are struggling. Following the integration of debit and credit cards with UPI, many prefer credit cards because of the numerous advantages they offer. According to a recent circular, there would be no fee for RuPay credit card use on UPI for transactions up to Rs 2,000.
